Child hospitalized after ride accident at Puyallup Fair

Two children were taken to a Puyallup-area hospital Friday night after a ride at the Puyallup Spring Fair tipped, but the injuries were not life-threatening.

The Lolly Swings, part of the child ride section, had roughly a dozen kids on board when the accident occurred about 6:30 p.m., Puyallup fair spokeswoman Karen LaFlamme said.

“Most of them had bumps and bruises and tears,” she said.

One of the two children taken to the hospital suffered a leg injury. The second child’s injuries were not detailed, and LaFlamme said the child was taken as a precaution. It was not clear if the children taken to a hospital were boys or girls.
